Everbridge has acquired Netherlands-based wireless 4G and 5G cell broadcast company, One2many.

This new JV will produce a mobile-optimised, full-lifecycle solution and will enable Everbridge to provide special needs registries that work in concert with location-based targeting, allowing for communication across all phases of an incident from preparation to alerting to follow up and recovery.

“A comprehensive public warning system can be used to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, decrease the pressure on public health services, protect those that are most vulnerable, and coordinate the appropriate volunteers and stakeholders when needed,” said David Meredith, CEO at Everbridge.

“Everbridge and One2many combine the most global deployments and, importantly, the deepest knowledge on best practices for large-scale population alerting in the industry,” commented Maarten Mes, managing director, One2many.

“Customers no longer need to choose between the best location-based mobile messaging and the best cell broadcast offering – they can adopt the best of both capabilities in one single unified platform.”
